まぁーI drank it outside before opening the bottle at home 😅.
I bought a bottle because I really liked the previous summer sake "Natsumushi", but as I felt when I drank it outside, it left a little bit of sweetness, so even though they are summer sake from the same brewery, they are quite different 🤣.
It was also a good experience to feel the difference of summer sake from the same brewery 😁. 猫punchS〆MI first experienced Kangiku last year 😚.
I love summer sake 😍I reacted to the blue label 😅It has a subtle gassy, melon-like aroma and juicy, crisp, clean and refreshing. It was a great cosmetic product and a great way to get rid of summer sluggishness 💕.
I want to try the whole series 😘.
🍶Purchase location: Iwai Kotobuki Sake Shop ma-ki-Hello, catpunchS closing M!
Kukai, I also had it for the first time this year and really enjoyed it with the quintessential Kangiku 😋.
I hope to enjoy the series a little more each year too 🤗 猫punchS〆MThank you ma-ki-. Last year I enjoyed it with tonic water as my boom 😅 this year I wanted to enjoy a different brand so unfortunately I didn't go through with it 😭 it's a great cosmetic product but it's hard to see that it sells out so quickly💦. 猫punchS〆MLast year I drank Oze no Yukidoke for the first time and have been a fan ever since 🫶It has an apple and pear-like aroma, and because it is a summer gin, it has a subtle sweetness and sourness that makes it easy to drink 😋 I remember it being very delicious 😋.
Where to buy: Iwai Kotobuki Sake Brewery 猫punchS〆MThe first time I drank 😙Kido was this Junmai Daiginjo. I was immediately a fan of the aroma, which is gorgeous and full with a hint of apple and melon 😆 It's also good that it's easily available 👍😍I'm looking forward to the seasonal sake ♫
Where to buy: Iwai Kotobuki Sake Shop 猫punchS〆MThis is badass 😍I've never had Haneya before, but it's delicious with a melon peel-like apple aroma, deliciously sweet and juicy, crisp and refreshing, and very easy to drink 😋It's only a summer junmai ginjo, and it will be gone soon 💦😆😆.
Where to buy 🍶: Iwai Kotobuki Sake Brewery 猫punchS〆MI like to enjoy a variety of sake, so I don't repeat the same sake unless it's my favorite 😆 I couldn't resist catching a beetle 😅lol lol.... I was shocked when I drank it for the first time last year because it was so sour 😂, but this year it seems to be sharper, and it's still the best tasting beetle 😍I can see why it's so popular and why people want to repeat 😘 ♫I prefer it when the glass is sweaty rather than when it's perfectly chilled 😘 ♫ Maybe 😚.

I know how you feel about drinking new ones 😌 we don't repeat ourselves much except for a few specific ones 🧐 but we always have a bottle of Kabutushi and Semi Shigure every year 🤗 delicious! 猫punchS〆MHi Jay & Nobby 😆 Semishigu is so delicious 🤤When we visited Tsuchiya Sake Brewery in May, we chose Akanesasu which you don't see here so we will try it once 😋 Thanks for the recommendation 😊😊 ♫ 猫punchS〆MIt smells like muscat and melon and is a deliciously sweet and juicy sake with a petit flavor, but not too sweet and elegant. It is very tasty and goes well with food, I think it's a very good sake 😋I want to make love to it again next year
I love to drink it next year 🍶Purchased from: Iwai Kotobuki Shoten 猫punchS〆MThe muscat-like, rummy aroma and the schwashy, light sweetness and umami bitterness were perfect for the hot summer and refreshingly enjoyable ♫
Where to buy: Iwai Kotobuki Shoten 猫punchS〆MI was at a 🍶 sake brewery and the president of the brewery was having a tasting so I bought it without a second thought! It was freshly pressed, fresh, very well balanced and delicious sake 🎵Thanks for the treat 😋.
Where to buy 🍶: Iwai Kotobuki Shoten 猫punchS〆MI heard that ☘️ spring is a classic sake, I missed the timing last year 😭I was able to get it for the first time this year 😅It's soft, clean and not too assertive so it's easy to drink and goes well with food 👍😘I want to drink it again next year💕.

まぁーPurchased with Kido summer sake at Iwai Kotobuki Store in May 🍶.
Rice type：Fukui Gohyakumangoku
Rice Polishing Ratio : Koji Rice 55% Kake Rice 58
Sake meter: +4.0
Acidity: 1.7
Alcohol content: 15
I bought a bottle of Sakurazumi in spring at the brewery and it was so delicious that I checked out a distributor in Hyogo and bought it 😀 It has a little more gasiness than Sakurazumi.
It is a little more gaseous than Sakurazumi, with a sweet taste at the beginning but it is sharp and dry at the end, also very tasty 😋.
I don't like gaseous or sweet tastes, but for some reason I'm into Hakugakusen 🤣.
I would love to try the recently released "Umimatsu" 😋. ジャイヴHello, Maa-san ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I see you opened "Natsumushi" right away 🥰.
Personally, I think the reason why "Hakugakusen" is so easy to drink is because it has sweetness, but the acidity is so clean and sharp that you don't feel the sweetness too strongly 🤔. まぁーHi Jive, good evening 🌒.
I've been trying to broaden my horizons after reading your posts and reviews on sakewa, and I thought it would be great if it was not only spicy but also sweet and umami, yet sharp and easy to drink 😋 "Hakugaku Sen" is exactly what I'm looking for 😊. まぁーI bought it in May at Iwai Kotobuki together with a bottle of Hakugakuzen summer sake 🍶.
Finally opened in June😅
My first summer sake from my favorite Kido. It has more acidity than I expected and a bitterness that comes afterwards. It's not what I expected from a summer sake 😅. ジャイヴHello, Mr. Maa.
I see you bought "Hakudakesen Natsumushi" ✨.
We've just started releasing another summer sake, "Hakugakuzen Umimatsu" 🤣.
I feel the design is in sync with "Kido" 🥰. まぁーHi Gyve!
I opened a bottle of "Natsumushi" yesterday and it was delicious, so I'd love to try "Umimatsu" 😋.
The liquor store where I bought the "Natsumushi" a week ago seems to have it in stock, but I didn't have a chance to go near there and was wondering 😂. ちりとてちんPurchased from Iwai Kotobuki Shoten in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture.
The aroma is reminiscent of muscat, with just the right amount of gas and refreshing sweetness. It has a lightness that is different from the usual Shichida, and it is also very tasty.
Thanks to Mr. Goto, the toji, for the treat. ❗️ ちりとてちんPurchased at Iwai Kotobuki Shoten in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture.
I was able to get it again this year.
Elegant and refined sweetness.
The aroma is gorgeous, reminiscent of pineapple. It is light, refreshing, and has a nice sharpness.
It is my favorite sake from Kangiku, which means it is my favorite sake 🌈👍. zii—They are fruity and sweet. zii—I thought it might be a little sweet and daily, but I guess I end up wanting it every night. zii—Clear, refreshing and easy to drink. Delicious!
